Château d'Oupia, Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Les Hérétiques (2016)

A blend of 90% old vine Carignan (some date back almost 100 years) with 10% Syrah. This is a bold, bright wine with clean flavors of cherries, spice and plums.  The wine is noteworthy for the label alone, a celestial map of the night sky. The name, Les Heretiques, is an homage to the Cathars, a pacifist Christian group that were massacred in Minervois in 1208.
